New Campfire Pit in the Works

When I replaced the old fire pit with the sugar shack which you can see on my sugarin' blog  www.gregkarasmaple.blogspot.com my girls were not terribly pleased. They love (as most of us do) sitting around a campfire toasting marshmallows on a summer night. So I set out to find yet another spot in our yard to build a new firepit.

A best of mine and I bartered hosta's for used patio block last night. Immediately I starting laying the blocks out.

Early May

 May is here already. Still have to get the main garden fenced in. The blooms of Wisteria, Tulips, May Pinks (phlox), Cherry blossoms are all on the way out. Butterscotch and Tiny enjoying some Swiss Chard from the greenhouse.

In the greenhouse, I sowed a mix of romaine which has just come up, moved around some swiss chard that was sowed in early/mid April.

Plenty of plants loading up with buds getting ready for their show coming up. Below are a some photos of some of my favorites.

Peony's are budding up nicely with the ants marching along on them. New Dawn, a heirloom rose which booms heavily with  pale pink blossoms and an Iris
